Just like I told my wife "I'll spend money on My truck OR Hookers and beer"
I'm starting to think that hookers and beer might be cheaper

That truck has really turned into a sharp machine. Well worth all the time & money you've spent on it. You should be proud, you did a sweet job on it...corn

That is a kick ass truck.

Only thing is, and call my crazy, but I don't really like the big tires on the front.

That and you need to take the drip gutters off of it.

Other than that, that is one of the nicest trucks I've ever seen.

thanks-

the tires on the front are only 235's....alot of thought went into the sizes on this thing....the reason i went with the sizes i did, was, i wanted to fill as much of the wheel area as possible, and go as low as i could....thus the tire combo i used.....i do have a few regrets for not going with 17's or maybe bigger

i agree that with the gutters off, it does give a bit more of a "cleaner" look, but, if ya took the drip gutters off, the way these trucks are designed, you'd stand a big chance of water gettin in the cab...which you really dont want, since these trucks are prone to rust

Man, looking better and better. Good work.
How do the clears look installed?

I think we foresee larger wheels sometime in the future.

Great job, again.
